Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones

 


Cholecystectomy for gallstones is the best-recommended treatment which may be acute or chronic. The laparoscopic surgery option has replaced the typical open surgery technique since the 1990s. It is a minor invasive technique that facilitates the removal of gallstones. Gallstones mean the solidification of bile in the biliary tract. However, when these solidifications occur in the gallbladder, it is called cholelithiasis. The most alarming fact about gallbladder disease is that most of the gallstone carriers are unaware of their condition. It is detected mainly during the diagnosis of some other disease or health condition. Therefore, laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstone makes is the best treatment. However, for mild or smaller stones, the physician may recommend oral medicines to dissolve the stones.

Symptoms of gallstones  

The symptoms vary with the size of the gallstones. Hence, small gallstones do not cause any symptoms. Such stones do not require any treatment. However, if they grow in size over time, they may cause;

  • Chest pain
  • Jaundice
  • Nausea
  • Pain in the right shoulder 
  • Pain in the upper right abdomen or mid-abdomen

For people suffering from severe symptoms, cholecystectomy for gallstone removal is the most preferred treatment.

The main symptom is pain which may last from 15 mins to hours. If gallstones cause acute cholecystitis, it causes inflamed gallbladder due to cystic duct blockage. However, stones passing out of the gallbladder into the bile duct may cause jaundice, pancreatitis, and infection.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones vs open surgery 

The first laparoscopic cholecystectomy dates back to 1986. Eric Müche made it a golden standard to treat symptomatic gallstone disease. According to the National Institute of Health statement, ‘laparoscopic removal of gallstones is a safe and effective treatment for the symptomatic patients. It was a choice of treatment for a significant number of people. The surgery is ideal for patients suffering from CTP class A & B cirrhosis. Furthermore, cholecystectomy for gallstones with a laparoscope is preferred over open surgery. It poses lesser risks, shorter stay and short time duration of the operation.
